Good to know
- Visa: Indian passport holders can enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 14 days (not extendable) – carry a passport valid 6+ months, a confirmed return ticket, hotel bookings and proof of funds. If you hold a valid US, UK, Schengen, Japan, Australia, Canada or Singapore visa or residence permit, you can stay up to 30 days visa-free.
- Flights: there are no direct flights from India to Cebu – most routes connect via Manila, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong. Book early, as fares rise quickly. Book your return from Coron (Busuanga) via Manila.
- February and March are the dry season in the Philippines – calm seas and sunny days, perfect for island-hopping.
- Boat trips and the ferry depend on sea conditions; if one is cancelled, we move it to another day or arrange an alternative.
- Canyoneering and snorkelling: no experience needed, but you should be comfortable in water with a life jacket. All jumps are optional.
- We don't include Oslob whale-shark watching because the sharks are fed to keep them there.
- Currency: Philippine Peso (PHP). Carry some cash – ATMs in El Nido and Coron can run out.
